Trial summary

Corneal topography allows the measure of the radii of curvature and of the thickness of the cornea. It is essential for diagnosis in ophthalmology and allows to highlight corneal irregularities such as a keratoconus, or too thin corneas which are a contra-indication for laser refractive surgery.

About this study

Corneal topography allows the measure of the radii of curvature and of the thickness of the cornea. It is essential for diagnosis in ophthalmology and allows to highlight corneal irregularities such as a keratoconus, or too thin corneas which are a contra-indication for laser refractive surgery.

Several types of corneal topographers are commercially available. Some as the Orbscan(r), operate by analyzing the image of the patterns of a Placido disk associated with a light slit, allowing the collection of thousands of points of the anterior and posterior surface of the cornea. More recent systems such as the Pentacam(r) are based on automatic rotary cameras which capture images of the whole anterior segment of the eye. The aim of this study is to compare two topographs, the Pentacam(r) and the Orbscan(r) and, more specifically, the central corneal pachymetry measurements measured pre- and postoperatively.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Concordance of the Orbscan and Pentacam topographs, evaluated by the intra-class correlation coefficient, for the measure of the difference of the central thickness of the cornea before and after surgery.

    Measured: one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Disorders, Refractive, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Concordance of the Orbscan and Pentacam topographs, evaluated by the intra-class correlation coefficient, for the measure of the difference of the central thickness of the cornea before and after surgery. (time frame: one month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Mar 2017.
